and if your kid carnivore things are racial harmony, race doesnt exists to the population anymore. Blacks are no longer victims of racism anymore. right?
I mean thats what your saying.
What i find funny is kid carnivore is one of those chief illiniwik fans. Who tells native americans "get over it, its just a mascot".
Its very interesting the state of race today, when no one, on this board, forget if they agree with my politics, admits that whites are born with power and priveledge that blacks dont have.
Very enlightening
Pearl jam should do a record about race. They did one about Iraq.0 -

That right there is a racist statement in itself. I dislike all stereotyping, even when it's coming from somewhere close to my spot on the political spectrum.
Personally, I think classism is more prevalent than racism, at least where I live.
self-absorbsionism is more prevalent than either wherever I have lived....i'm not sure that's a word though!And you ask me what I want this year
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And desire and love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days0 -

What was katrina about
the fact that you attach race with katrina illustrates your racism, not to mention your self-loathing, paranoid world.And you ask me what I want this year

please quote for me where I said blacks dont go to yale and all whites are college educated. I never said that.
Dont EVER misquote me. Get your facts straight if your gonna discuss this stuff.
I am a hippie myself, but I find it amazingly disappointing when I cant even be quoted accurately. You guys must be using some crazy drugs today.
To even suggest, I, who am notorious on this board for long winded rants about white youth joining blacks and other races to overthrow the govt and create a world of peace love and unity, to even suggest I am saying that all whites are rich and all blacks are poor or whatever is absurd.
Put down the drugs and READ

Pretty much, it turns out people can't handle the truth anyway.I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire0 -

hippiemom wrote:I DO think that white people have more power and privilege in our society, but that doesn't change the fact that your posts in this thread make liberal use of racist stereotypes.
Please tell me how I have offended blacks or latinos or people of other races. Other than that its not racism. Its prejudice.
I never said all blacks came from cabrini green or were from the projects.
You obviously havent ever seen my posts before.
Stop telling me what I believe and actually grow some guts and ask it.
Dont put crappy words in my mouth.0 -

All of your examples paint the black man as being poor and downtrodden, and the white man as being in an exalted position. You are perpetuating racist stereotypes when you post shit like this."Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." ~ MLK, 19630 -
if anything I am more problack and pro other races than pro white so to be accused of being antiblack and antilatino is absurd.0

So you believe that it's ok to be prejudice but not racist?I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny.

So that's your motivaton? To never be called racist by a black person?I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny.

And are you promoting prejudice by posting complete crap and nonsense and not asking me if I actually believe what you are suggesting I do in fact believe.
Learn to ask people. Dont assume.
Please tell me where i said ALL black men are poor.
If you can do that fine. If not, shut up. Plain and simple, hippiemom. Plain and simple. Shut up0 -
Cheguevara6 wrote:so you dont honestly believe that any of these are right?
No one is saying that blacks can't or don't or won't succeed; but acting like some of those subtleties and sometimes unconscious nuances in our behavior don't exist is just plain naive.
I don't know what the point of this thread was, I just know that it offered up some very real, abeit uncomfortable truths."I'm here to see Pearl Jam."- Bono
